石油设备网讯 据彭博社阿布贾1月19日报道，尼日利亚众议院5月份通过参议院通过了一项管理该国能源部门的法案，该法案使非洲最大的石油生产国朝着备受期待的关键行业改革迈进了一步。
现在“石油工业治理法案”等待总统穆罕默德·布哈里签署成为法律。
参议院主席萨拉基（Bukola Saraki）在周四的一份声明中表示，该法案将“通过澄清管理石油和天然气行业的规则，程序和程序来促进行业的公开透明。”
立法者仍然需要通过两项立法才能完成一项将取代现行法律的改革。
一个侧重于新的石油税，另一个致力于解决尼日尔河三角洲产油社区长期以来的不满。
尼日利亚是非洲最大的石油生产商，持有荷兰皇家壳牌有限公司、埃克森美孚公司、雪佛龙公司、道达尔公司和埃尼公司的合资企业55%的股份。
这些占了石油总产量的80%左右，至少占政府收入的三分之二。

Nigeria moves closer to energy overhaul with new oil bill
Nigeria’s House of Representatives passed a bill governing the country’s energy sector after the Senate did so in May, taking Africa’s top oil producer one step closer to a much-awaited overhaul of the key industry.
The Petroleum Industry Governance Bill now awaits President Muhammadu Buhari’s signing to become law.
The bill will “promote openness and transparency in the industry by clarifying the rules, processes, and procedures that govern the oil and gas sector,” Senate President Bukola Saraki said in a statement Thursday.
Lawmakers still need to pass two more pieces of legislation to complete an overhaul that will replace current laws.
One focuses on new oil taxes and the other seeks to address longstanding grievances by oil-producing communities in the Niger River delta.
Nigeria, Africa’s top oil producer, holds an average 55% stake in joint ventures run by Royal Dutch Shell Plc, ExxonMobil Corp, Chevron Corp., Total SA and Eni SpA.
These account for about 80% of total oil production, which generates at least two-thirds of government revenue.
